The bill, HR 1165, would revise the Transportation Security Administration Ombuds program. Based on the appropriation figures contained in the bill, the CBO estimates that implementing HR 1165 would cost $1.725 million over the 2012-2014 period. Meanwhile, the bill itself languishes in the House Committee on Homeland Security. (Congressional Budget Office.)
